Spike Lee talks about getting honoured by the Basketball Hall of Fame as a fan, the time he asked Prince to give him a guitar and working on Highest 2 Lowest with Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky.

A new Spike Lee joint is set to take film lovers on another ride this month, and sitting in the driver’s seat is Denzel Washington once again. For Highest 2 Lowest, the legendary director and veteran actor were in good company, as the former declared A$AP Rocky was able to go “toe to toe” with the latter in front of the camera. Lee also commended Rocky’s ability to keep his cool around an acclaimed movie star like Denzel, as he’s witnessed other actors in the past who couldn’t do the same, adding:

“I’ve done five films with Denzel, and when he’s in a scene with somebody, they just get overwhelmed. He’s one of the world’s greatest living actors. But A$AP wasn’t having that. Toe to toe. I mean, they were going at it.” .
